Policy Advocacy

Laws, regulations, and even cultures are evolving in response to expanded use of biometric technology. As biometric technology becomes an increasingly important part of our lives, governments are stepping in to define the parameters of where and how it can be applied.

International Biometrics + Identity Association actively engages with lawmakers, regulators, and the public about biometric technology and how it can be used for the common good. On behalf of its members, International Biometrics + Identity Association provides facts about how the technology operates and thoughts on how that technology can best be used to accomplish policy objectives.

There are many lingering misperceptions about biometrics which commonly surface in public debate. By educating the public about how biometric technology works, how biometrics enhance privacy, and how biometrics can help to secure personal information, International Biometrics + Identity Association seeks to expand the use of biometrics to the benefit of its members.
